Author(s): Chidananda M. & Mallinath Kumbar
Abstract - This paper emphasizes the significance of legislative Acts in legal scholarship. A total of 1,584 citations of legislative Acts were extracted from 98 theses at the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, and analyzed through citation analysis. The study reveals that Indian legislative Acts are cited more frequently than those from other countries. Among Indian states, Acts enacted by the Government of Karnataka were the most commonly cited. Notably, the central Act, the Constitution of India (1950), emerged as the most cited legislation in the study.
Keywords - Legal research, Acts, Legislation, Citation analysis, Indian States.
